Ten Years of the SLA Europe IP award by Sylvia James
The SLA Europe Student Award is an all-expenses-paid award given to a Master's-level LIS graduate student for first-time attendance at an SLA annual conference. In 2007, the inaugural year of the award, it was given jointly by SLA Europe and the Business & Finance (B&F) Division of SLA, to Verena Till, a Library and Information Management student at Stuttgart Media University, Germany. More information.
We are pleased to announce that we will be able to send four students to the SLA annual conference in Seattle, Washington in June 2008 thanks to
co-sponsorship of two awards by B&F, and one student co-sponsored with SLA Europe by the Insurance and Employee Benefits (IEB) and Science and Technology (Sci-Tech) Divisions.
The deadline for applications was 29th February 2008 and the winners will be announced soon. More information.
The SLA Europe Dissertation Awards are given to a currently enrolled Masters-level LIS student in the following programmes: Brighton, London Metropolitan, Loughborough and Sheffield universities. Staff at each university select the best dissertation based on research on a subject pertinent to those working in special libraries.
The award, launched in 2007, includes a certificate, a £100 cheque, a one-year student membership in SLA, and an invitation to a celebrating meal with the other award winners and their advisors. The intention is to continue to make these awards to students at the four participating universities until 2011.
Congratulations .... to our Student Dissertation Prize Winners for 2007/2008.

Clare Sinclair (University of Sheffield)
